As president Nixon said upon his visit - "This is a great wall"
We went on the "Secret Wall Tour" that our hostel offered. They take you to an unrestored section of teh wall which is away from all the tourists and all the hassle of touts that goes with it. We had a local guide who was about 70 years old, no english, not water and sporting some pretty cool hardcore workwear. This was quite a hike and at the risk of repeating myself...It was hot!
It was a pretty good trip as there were only 10 of us and the wall but I would have also like to have seen a restored section as well but without the masses of people.
You can't have everything in life.
